The news reached Charlotte Edwards while she was at the crease: West Indies
had beaten Australia by eight runs and thereby knocked England out of the
World Cup regardless of the result in their last Super Six match against New
Zealand in Mumbai.

It was, the England captain said, “heartbreaking”, but she and her team
knuckled down and won by 15 runs. It would have been enough to put them in
Sunday’s final if West Indies had lost. Instead, they will face Australia
again for the trophy, while England have another match against the White
Ferns for third place.
